All Chapters of Trading My Cheating Ex for His Alpha Uncle : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

XAVIER"Alpha. Ms. Zara is being rushed to the hospital," the lead researcher, Daniel, told me when he came to my office.I was looking at something on my iPad but immediately hoisted my gaze, a hard frown settling on my face."What?" I growled, hoping I had heard him wrongly."There was an accident at the lab. We don't know the specific cause, but there was an explosion when she mixed some reagents. We called 911, and she was rushed to the hospital."I didn't even allow him to finish talking before leaping to my feet and rushing toward the door."What hospital was she taken to?" I asked in panic as I rushed out.An unfamiliar feeling settled in my chest.Fear.I was never scared of anything. But the thought of losing Zara to death scared the hell out of me."Peace Heart Hospital," he told me as he followed behind.My hospital. The same hospital her grandfather was in.From the moment I left the company until I reached the hospital was a blur. I had driven at the speed of light, negle

ZARAMy face scrunched up as I watched her display of nonsense. She didn't give two fucks about me, so why was she crying? Did she hit her head somewhere? Because that was the only explanation I would accept for this sudden display of worry."Are you okay?" Monica continued as she came to a stop beside me. She searched my face. "The explosion didn't hit you?"She almost sounded disappointed."What?" I shot a brow up. "Are you disappointed?""No." She quickly shook her head and sighed. "I am just relieved. Alpha would've been so worried."I pressed my lips together, unsure how to react to her weird behavior."I am fine, Monica. Thank you," I said, almost rolling my eyes."I already called your grandpa to tell him. He's on his way here," she muttered.My eyes widened in shock."Now why on earth did you tell him? He has a heart condition, for fuck's sake. If I wanted him to know, I would've told him myself.""Oh..." Her lips parted. "I had no idea. I thought it was best to inform a famil

ZARAIt seemed really strange and almost unbelievable that Daniel would try to harm me. He had been really sweet and nice to me since I joined the team, but then, evil wasn’t always written on the face. He was arrested and taken into police custody but was later released since there wasn’t any concrete evidence against him. He had also claimed that his key card was missing and that he only found it after the culprit dropped it on one of the workbenches.Further investigations were being carried out, and until then, Daniel had been suspended from the company.It had been three days since everything happened, and I was fully back on my feet. Today was the Crescent Moon Gala, and nervousness had claimed my entire being. Everything would change for me today. My face would be plastered all over news channels, and Xavier and I would be the talk of the town. A price I had to pay for taking two million dollars.“I need to start raising my shoulders. Best friend to Zara Ashbourne, Xavier Kings

ZARAAfter staring dangerously at each other for a good ten seconds, laughter suddenly erupted from both of them before they wrapped their arms around each other.I stared at them, confused.“You didn’t tell me you were coming into town,” Xavier said.“I wanted to surprise you. And I had to come and assume my duties as the Beta, since I heard you’re willing to lead the pack now,” he said.“Bold of you to assume I would make you my Beta.”“If I’m not your Beta, then no one else could be. I’ll have their heads,” Adrian responded smoothly.He wrapped an arm around Xavier again. “I missed you.”“That’s gay,” Xavier grunted and they both laughed. My arms were wrapped around my chest as I stared at the both of them in amusement. I never knew Xavier had a best friend that he was this close with.“Won’t you introduce me to her?” Adrian flicked his gaze at me. “Dagger Princess.”“What?” My eyes widened.“Did I tell you?” He looked at Xavier. “She almost gutted my liver out with a knife. I had

ZARAWhen the auctioneer asked if anyone wanted it, Xavier quickly raised his hand.“What do you want to use a female’s bracelet for?” I asked him.“I saw the way you stared at it. You want it, and I’m getting it for you,” he responded smoothly.My cheeks warmed, but fifty thousand dollars was too much for just a bracelet.“It’s too expensive. You don’t have to get it,” I told him.“Fifty thousand dollars is chicken change to me,” he muttered.“The bracelet is going to Alpha Xavier. Going, going, going, and...”“Sixty thousand dollars,” Ryan suddenly blurted as he raised his hand. He was back sitting with Bianca.“One hundred thousand dollars,” Xavier countered.“Two hundred thousand dollars,” Ryan yelled.“Five hundred thousand dollars,” Xavier carried on.“One million dollars!” Ryan blurted.“Wow. Looks like this bracelet is truly worth something. The healer would be happy wherever she is right now. One million dollars, going to Alpha Ryan. Going...” the narrator started, but Xavier
